axis of the Mediterreanean arc
It's "arc", apparently. I also tend to favour "basin" but it seems the concept does not include the south. (There are north-south programs for the basin, though).

In the 1980s according to first ref., this axis was Italy, Spain and Portugal.
The second link I gave seems to have been truncated here, but the article was interesting. I'll try pasting it again: http://www.caixacatalunya.es/CDA/caixacat/redirect.html?link...
Note that I've found the term in so many real estate texts that "no tienen nada que ver" with the Mediterranean alliance. Apparently, just a business buzzword.

Note from asker:
| Basin refers to the whole Med area, but my text is about Spain only. |

Mediterranean Arch is probably the "correct" term, but this seems to be a text for tourists. In my opinion, it is better to make the translation somewhat less literal, which is why I prefer "seaboard".
